Yes. Absolutely - when I talk about new builds. I will come back to Mr. McCarthy shortly on the total spend on RAS and HAP. Moving on from Limerick, Galway City Council only met 25% of its new build target and only 27% of its overall target, which would include builds, acquisitions and leasing. Westmeath County Council only met 34% of its target and Wicklow County Council only met 55% of its new build target and 58% of its overall target.

While we might have come close to meeting targets in overall terms, that is mainly because we shifted more towards acquisitions after not meeting our leasing targets. What is the Department doing about the 14 local authorities that have not met their build targets, in particular the worst performers that came substantially under target?
